Thanks. Any particular reason for this posting today?

I once had three 10mm's two Colt Delta Elites and an auto ordinance.

Despite the fact that it had a cast frame and the barrel had a slight defect in the rifling, the Auto Ordnance shot great. The Colts shot well also.

I phoned Auto Ordinance in New York and they sent me a new barrel. The old one shot so well tho, that I kept it in it.

The 10mm is one of those cartridges which deserved to be more popular than it is. I could barely tell that it kicked more than the standard .45 auto.

In my opinion the roots of the .40MM go back to the early 1880's and the .38-40WCF cartridge. Balistics are virtually identical with the same size bore and bullet weight. Parley

I think the ideal application for the full-house 10MM is as a load for a short action carbine. Build one around a glock magazine and I'll be first in line.

Uhh, I guess it would be wise to ask if anybody knows of a 10MM carbine.

This is the round our armed forces SHOULD be using...not the one we inherited from the guys we beat...a .38...which we knew didn't really work well in 1911. It especially doesn't work well as Ball. It's like launching a blunt pencil, or a target-tipped arrow. Makes nice holes in metal, though...which is why Muttly carried it...and still does...perhaps...

.40 beats 9mm every time.

.45 is better, but if I had to choose between .40 and 9mm (in a handgun) .40 wins.

In some future day, we will have 'phasers' as in 'Star Trek'.

Until then I must regard the 9mm as a .45 set on 'stun'.

The .40 seems to be doing well.
